This article describes a hotfix that updates daylight saving time (DST) settings for Mexico, Mongolia, and Iran. This update supersedes KB 3039024. Before you install this hotfix, check the Prerequisites section in this article.

Introduction

Mexico

A new time zone, “Eastern Standard Time (Mexico),” was added in KB 3039024. It was originally set to observe DST from the first Sunday of April through the last Sunday of October. However, according to the latest announcement from the Mexican government, this time zone does not observe DST. Therefore, the previous DST rules for this time zone are removed in this update.

Mongolia

Mongolia will observe DST starting this year. DST for Mongolia starts on the last Saturday of March at 02:00 and ends on the last Saturday of September at 00:00. The following DST rules will be observed.
